True to their nature, magnets are attracting attention in all kinds of industries. Suitable for an enormous range of surfaces, magnets provide the strength and durability of mechanical closures and fasteners, with the mobility of temporary hangers.
In the printing industry, magnets enable signage...

People purchasing magnets rely on standards to ensure the products they buy will work properly in their application. Uncertainties or variations in quality can result in product failure. Until now, magnet standards have been outdated, specific to only one region of the world or vague about the...

Good News for Magnets!
You may have heard that the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) had been considering a tariff of up to 25% on industrial magnets from China. These tariffs would have affected many of our products, as China is the world’s primary source for rare earth elements and other minerals...

Kudos to Toyota for its development of the first Heat Resistant Neodymium Iron Boron magnets that:
1) Avoids the use of expensive heavy rare earth elements such as Dysprosium and Terbium; and
2) Substitutes less expensive Cerium and Lanthanum for Neodymium via an innovative process so there is...

For years, the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Florida could lay claim to having built the world’s strongest magnet.
And then someone built a stronger one. Florida’s response? Challenge accepted.
Did they succeed? Read this article from The Associated Press for the full story, and how...

Interesting news out of Duke University, where new magnets are now being built in a laboratory, atom by atom. While production on a mass scale at a reasonable cost is still many years away, this could be the first step toward a magnet creation process that would be more immune to severe market...

And they all will be on display at GlobalShop March 23 - 25
The countdown has begun. GlobalShop is just days away, and we’re packing up for three days in Vegas. It actually feels like we'll be there a month with all the product samples and sales collateral we packed in the booth. From magnetic...

Recently, we've been hearing one common request from our retail and POP design customers. They wanted a magnetic paint that can hold everything from a simple magnet all the way up to our MAGbond® Magnet Media System. Well, we have good news. Adams' now has a magnetic receptive paint that will be...
